Chapter 25: Researching Deeper Plus Quality Time
"It can't be. How did he end up in this world? He should've not been realistic in this world." I said while looking at the information in mom's computer.
"Well that was what they told me sweetie. But I don't know what stone he is looking for though." Mom said.
"*sigh* Splendid. Just splendid. Now I have to deal with more trouble that is coming our way. I really want to know who is behind all of this right now."
"Now that you say that, I kinda want to know too. Whoever is behind all of this has to be sending reinforcements to pursue these stones. But maybe Thanos may be looking for the other stone. There may be a chance he is looking for the red one as well."
"But on the bright side, he doesn't know where the red stone is, so that's something we can be happy about. Hopefully." I whispered the last tone in a threatening way. Just because I'm really out of it with these villains finding these stones with no hesitation.
"Speaking of this red stone, were there any other people in Primp Town who lended you help during your research of the red stone?"
"Well… let's just say it's a long list. So I believe maybe when we get to Primp Town, I'll introduce you to them."
"R-Right…" Mom said with a sweatdrop.
"I just hope nothing happens to my friends while I'm away. With Satan and Ecolo learning their lesson from destroying worlds, they should be safe by the time all six stones are found by us. If other people from different dimensions can get their hands on it first."
"Honestly, they might not not know."
"What do you mean?" I asked mom, looking confused.
"Technically, they don't know where the stones are hidden after a flash of light has occurred. It will be very impossible to find them all since the stones are hidden in random places."
"Fair enough. But once we explain the flash of light incident, they'll now understand why the villains are appearing in each dimension in order to capture the stones. Hopefully they can understand the apocalypse that is about to spark if they find all the stones including this one."
"You're not wrong. But do you think they'll believe you?"
"Yes. I hope so. They might believe it's just a myth, but once I explain it thoroughly, they'll now understand that it's real."
I hope they'll think this whole thing is not a myth. Because if I find myself in a deep hole after telling these people the truth of why Thanos is looking for the stone to destroy this world along with the other ones but the people don't believe everything that I said, then this is going to be a tough time to stop these villains from finding these stones alone. Because I have no help only in this world.
…
…
…
So I wonder how I should plan this.
"What do you think I should do?" I asked my mom.
"Well… you gave the stone to me. So unfortunately there isn't anything you can do. I'll try to keep you updated if I find anything else that we need to know about."
"*sigh* Ok. I'm all out of ideas anyway." I said as I walked back to my room with a depressed look.
There's nothing really much planned afterwards. I've already got my mother what she… or rather "we" wanted, and now I've got nobody to talk to. You know, now that I think about it, everyone seems to make friends on their own. I must've been the only person that never made friends when I was a child. But when I came to the Puyo Puyo dimension, I started to not realize that… I made friends. That was a big achievement for me. My mom did not realize that either. But the problem is that I never actually made friends here in Liverpool. Ever. The reason being is because I was focusing on accomplishing my dream of becoming a magic user. I feel like being alone while being a child wasn't supposed to be the best choice. I could've been making friends earlier because it enhances my time for what I want to do. Although I don't do different things. I pretty much read all the time.
I wonder how I should make friends in this world though. The Puyo Dimensions I can cross off. Now I should learn how to make friends on my own.
…
…
…
Wait… hold on. I remember Ciel saying something about how I should make friends. I shouldn't be skipping out on what she said earlier.
*FLASHBACK*
"I would suggest putting faith in your charisma and start making friends if you really feel like it. I would do the same to Klug, Io, Toule and Primm. But not all the time I would do that. I would need to have a high relationship with someone that shares the same traits that I have."
*PRESENT TIME*
Putting faith in my charisma. And a high relationship? I wonder what she means by "a high relationship". And faith in my charisma. Maybe I'm thinking she means that I would have to make a strong connection with the person that I know in terms of the categories that we both like.
…
And the library. I remember Io saying that I should go
to the library in order to make some friends.
*FLASHBACK*
"Reading books? Ok, so maybe you can go to a library and see if anyone has interest in reading books as well."
*PRESENT TIME*
I haven't been hanging out at a library just to make friends who share the same interest as me. Of course I've been going there to pick up books, but I never go to one just to hang out and read all day. Maybe I should ask my mother something after she is done with work.
I then went inside my room and went on my bed to rest for a while. After having to watch a movie (which I turned off before getting on my bed) and having a conversation with my mom about the other stone that is in this world, I feel like watching a movie wouldn't help me in the current mood that I'm feeling. So for the time being, I decided to rest for a bit until I get better. A little bit.
Hopefully I can recover from being bored until this day is over.
"Kaze… Kaze…"
"*groan* Mom… *groan*"
*PECK*
"*groan* Thank you, mom."
"Your welcome, Kaze."
I then woke up my eyes to see my mother that was on the bed next to me. Who kissed me on the left side of my head.
"What are you doing here?" I asked my mom.
"Well, I was trying to call your name for hours but you didn't reply, sweetie. I even tried to text you but you still didn't reply."
"Really? What time is it?"
"6:36 PM."
"Wow… *yawn* I guess sleeping was the best choice then."
"Really? So you would snub your own mother by just sleeping straight up?" My mom asked with an annoyed look.
"Just this one time. Raffina was always teasing me back in Primp Town so I figured why not I do the same thing to you."
"Yeah. Thanks for notifying me." My mom said with a sweatdrop. "Anyway, all that aside. Do you want to go grab something to eat?"
"Well I'm up anyway so sure. I wonder where we should eat though."
"How about we go eat at a restaurant? I have never seen your face in a long time so maybe we can talk some more."
…
…
...
"Well… I got you anyway so I guess we can do that." I said after thinking about it. I really miss my mom anyway.
"Ok. Why don't you change your clothes? I think you've been wearing these clothes for days now." Mom said to me as she walked out of the room.
"Huh? But that was... never mind." I said I got up from my bed.
After deciding on what we wanted to do, we both had to go change our clothes. We decided to leave the stone in the house so no one would take it. Before we were about to head outside, something came into my mind.
"Hey, mom. Did a lot of places change ever since I was gone besides the stone?" I asked her.
"Umm… not a lot. I think there was a mall that was closed down for a week due to some scary incident. I forgot what happened. But all in all, I don't think I see any buildings that are changing."
"Oh ok. That was rather… shocking."
"Why did you ask that?" Mom asked, looking confused.
"Well… I was just wanting to see how things were coming along here. I know it was a random question but I just wanted to ask that for once."
"It's fine, Kaze. If you want to ask me something, then just ask away. You don't have to be shy."
"No I wasn't shy. I just didn't want to ask it, but my mind forced me to. So I just decided to be myself and ask."
"I figured you were going to ask about the library."
"W-Well, no. I wasn't going to. Well… I was planning on asking, but I would rather ask during our time together."
"Well I can't rush you to ask me that so you can talk to me about it anytime. Anyway, let's move out."
"Sure thing."
As soon as mom opened the door, there was something on the ground that was laying down next to our door. It was just unexpected.
"Oh? Why is this mail so big?" Mom asked as she picked up the mail.
And as soon as she looked in the back, that was when our eyes lit up. And we looked at each other, knowing how worried we were.
"Why are our names on here?" I asked my mom. "And why did the person write in marker?"
"No reason. I haven't heard of this mysterious person."
My mom said as she opened the mail.
As she was opening to see what was inside…
"It's a letter for both of us." Mom said as she took out the letter.
"Sorry to disturb your time. I wanted to give you this time to say that I truly thank you for protecting the red legendary stone back at the Puyo Puyo Dimension. I strongly needed to do this myself but since you both have proven to protect the stone by keeping Satan and Ecolo out of the picture. So in return, I figured you need help from us to explain what is really going on so I gave you something else inside the mail for you so that you can travel between dimensions including our world so if you want more details, please feel free to stop by at any time. I'll fill you in.
From
?"
"Question marks? He or she didn't even describe him or herself!" I shouted.
"I'm thinking the same thing. And I also don't get why I'm involved in this. I haven't even done anything ever since you left."
"True. But why did that person give us this huge mail on this day? I just got back from Primp Town."
"Wait. That person also said that he or she left something else in the mail." Mom said as she checked the mail again.
And when she checked inside…
"What is this?" Mom as she grabbed the object that was inside the mail.
"A… walkie-talkie? It looks rather big."
"You can say that again. I don't know what it's for anyways." I said.
"It's really concerning why that person gave us this."
"Maybe it's just so that we can be in touch with each other. But I'm still concerned about why she gave us this thing on this day."
"Well it's probably because of the fact that you discovered the stone first. And you were protecting the stone the entire time you were in the Primp Town."
Both of us went silent for a minute. We didn't know whether we should trust this person because he or she saw what we did with the stone. I would rather let mom grab more information about the stone since she thinks she can handle gathering evidence from me on why the flash of light occurred. I forgot which day the flash of light in this world occurred.
…
…
…
*sigh* I guess there's no denying it.
"Well... I want to see what this new dimension is about."
"Huh?" My mom asked.
"I want to hear this mysterious person out because he or she noticed the events that went on while I was safeguarding the red stone from Satan, Ecolo and Arfoire. Maybe we can get more intel on where Arfoire is. Including the other stone that appeared in this world."
"Well, I don't know, Kaze. I think we might fall into a trap. The way that is written in marker is telling me that we might end up in a very bad outcome. Are you sure you want to do this?"
"I mean… I wish to do so… but I prefer to do that some other time… I just got back from Primp Town and it seems to me that I should lay off from moving dimensions for a little while. I want to see how the United Kingdom is turning out for me."
"Yeah, fair enough. I want to get you more time to take a break from moving dimensions anyway before proceeding."
"Take a break from moving dimensions?"
"Yes. You went to Primp Town for so long, right? We both agreed that you were going to return home with the stone and now it's time that you take a break from this until further notice."
"That's true… but shouldn't that person give it to Arle, Ringo, or Amitie? They were the ones that were also involved in the red stone war."
"He or she should've done that. It's their dimension of course so maybe they should've sent us this instead of giving it to us. I wasn't personally involved in that incident."
"That's true. I'm not gonna bother what you said. Still, I would rather ask why this mysterious person gave us this mail."
"Ok, We'll think it through over the weekend. Anyway, let's go get something to eat."
"Ok."
We went to this huge restaurant called Super Full Course Track (My mom told me that it's a restaurant that has opened up recently with all the mouthwatering types of food such as spaghetti and meatballs, cheeseburgers, chicken wings, and all the other types of food that there is. She also said that this has been the best restaurant ever since.) that was around the corner from where the mall (The one that was shut down due to the incident) is at. At first I wasn't going to believe it, but that was until mom looked on her phone and showed me some pictures of what it really looked like. So I agreed to it anyway. It seems to me that it looks like a really good restaurant anyway.
"Wow. It's nice here. I don't know where to start though." I said, looking amazed.
"*giggle* I was surprised, myself. There's so many seats that we can sit in, but too bad we don't have to get up and grab our food."
"Tch! Of course they don't." I said with an annoyed look along with a sweatdrop.
"But it'll get even better when we get our seats. Trust me. You are gonna love this." Mom said with a thumbs-up.
"Well, if you say so." I said with a smile with a shrug.
I wonder what that is.
"Hello, welcome to Super Full Course Track, is it just you two for the night?" The guy asked us both.
"Correct. Just us two." My mom said.
"Alright, is this your first time being here?"
"Yes, this is our first time."
"Alright that's nice, so in this restaurant, we don't usually come up to you to order. There are tablets on the tables that show you the lists of drinks first and then the food that you want. And it will hover your orders over to the chefs inside the kitchen. So it's something new here."
It sure is something new now that I think about it.
"Oh really? Wow, that's excellent."
"Yes, which is why people are starting to love it now since they don't have to wait for other waiters like us to come serve the food or take their order."
"That's great to hear."
"Yup. Anyway, follow me. I'll take you to your table." The guy said as he was walking down the tables and we were following him.
So I'm very surprised that there were tablets here in this restaurant. And that's a good thing because that way, we don't have to wait for one person to take our orders and we can just order our meals ourselves. That's just way more perfect for me to comprehend towards.
Maybe I should start getting used to this more. Or rather, I think maybe I should've had Amitie, Arle, Ringo, Raffina, Klug, Sig, probably everyone. Because they might think this is the perfect restaurant to eat at due to the food smelling and/or tasting good. I bet everyone will have a good time... and not to get ahead of myself here, but if these foods actually taste good, maybe this restaurant should be known to be the best restaurant there is. That's just my point.
"Alright, here are your seats, ladies. The tablet is on your left. Please, enjoy." The man said.
"Thank you so much." My mom said as he walked away from us and we both sat down face to face.
"There sure are a lot of people here." I said while looking at the scenery of this place. I left out the part that there were a lot of TVs here. I didn't have much to say about it.
"Yup. It's the newest restaurant here. You can see how many people enjoy being in this restaurant, liking their food, you know… having a good time."
"I understand. You know, I wish there were more restaurants like this. So that I wouldn't have to go to the same restaurants every day."
"Well, you got this one. There's no use in trying to go all over the place with your new restaurant ideas."
"I know. I'm just saying that this restaurant is just not too bad to say the least."
"Well, again, it'll get even better once you get your food. That's why this restaurant is trending."
"I wish I would've had my friends over here to see what they think about this place."
"Oh yeah?"
"Well, they don't have that many restaurants over at Primp Town. I don't really know why, but it might be because it's a small… city I'm guessing? I'm not really quite sure. I should probably ask Raffina when I return to Primp Town someday."
"Well, they might have the same reaction just like the other people here. I'm sure it'll be fascinating to watch. Especially with the other people from the other dimensions."
"We also can't count dad out either."
"Correct. He might like it the same way. Anyway, let's order."
"Right."
So on the tablet, my mom showed me how the tablet works. So it starts off with a "Hello" screen and then a "Are you new here?" screen with the options of yes and no. My mom had to pull out her credit card because the tablet asks for that first in order to proceed. So she had to take care of that. Then she told me that this restaurant starts off with the drinks so there are drinks listed as categories. Juice, tea, water, alcohol (A not for kids type of drink) and all sorts of stuff. I wanted lemonade while my mother wanted iced tea. After we took care of that, my mother showed me what type of food I wanted to eat. The categories for that are breakfast and lunch. We both wanted lunch so my mother picked on that. And what surprised me the most was the amount of food that was on the list with the pages going up to 39. But what was better was that there was a search button on the tablet that will help us find the results that we need. So we used that. My mother wanted me to go first and I wanted to get spaghetti and meatballs. And they ended up finding one result. Just one. And that was just spaghetti and meatballs. So I decided to deal with it and just tapped on it. I only just wanted normal spaghetti and meatballs though. So my mom wanted a chicken salad. She likes salads and thought that a chicken salad might taste even better. I didn't protest it and decided to let her be her. So that was it and my mom had to purchase all the stuff that we wanted. I was hoping that my food was going to be tasty. Since this is a better restaurant to be in anyways.
"So you got the basics?" Mom asked me after we were just finished with the tablet.
"Yes. I got it planned now. I hope my food tastes good."
"Well you are a fan-favorite of spaghetti and meatballs, so it's likely that it'll be tasty. A lot."
"Yup. Better than that chicken salad that you are about to get. *giggle*"
"*giggle* My arse." Mom said, feeling a little insulted.
"You just want me to stop teasing you already, yes?"
"I'm fine with it as long as it's not inappropriate."
"Well I would never do that to you. You're my mom of course so I would definitely let you be yourself."
"I mean it's not like I'm embarrassed or anything by your insulting. I just don't want you making other people upset because of this."
"I would never. Not at all. I'm one of the kindest girls you will meet. But in a more mature way."
"Yeah. I know."
The two of us then went silent for a bit. With both of us having nothing else in our sleeves. But then I wanted to use this time to ask her my thoughts about doing what I have never done back in Primp Town.
I might as well get to the point just so that my mother doesn't want me being bored around the house. But… I'm gonna need to use strategy on this one. I can't just do it straight-up.
"Hey, mom. Remember when I said that I was gonna
ask about the library during our time together?" I asked her.
"Yeah. Do you want to go there?" Mom asked.
"Not only do I want to go there… but just every day."
"Every day? You don't want to take a break from it? Like once a week?" Mom asked, looking shocked.
"Yes I do miss you and all and I still want to spend time with you more, but don't you think I should just try and be more… active? So that… I don't have to be bored around the house?"
"Yes, I understand, but… g-going to the library every single day? I'm not sure what books you would like to read while you're there?
…
…
…
Oh yeah… I was finished with working magic. But the question is, what should I want to read now?
"Y-You're not wrong, actually. I've finished working on magic and stuff."
"Yup. That actually counts since you already got dark magic."
…
…
…
"Ok… how about this? I can drop you off at the library one day, and you can stay home the next day. Like every Monday, I can drop you off at the library for… maybe when I'm on my first break at work. And on Tuesday, I'll allow you to stay home the next day. So that way, you can ease off on reading books and spend time on whatever. You know, just so that things can be fair for you."
Well my mom is who I'm worried about the most. But… reading books at the library helps me get out of the room all the time.
Geez, it's a hard decision because I love my mom so much. I really do. But I don't want to be lazy. It's not like me to be lazy. I don't be lazy all the time.
…
…
…
But… the stone. I also can't lose focus on the red stone even though my mom is doing all the research.
…
…
…
Ok. Now I can see where my mom is getting at.
…
But I want how this ticks though.
"Ok. I guess you're right. Taking a break should not be much of a problem. And besides, I really want to have him interact with you more since we haven't seen each other in weeks. Otherwise, I would candidly be forgetting about you. And I'm not gonna do such a stupidious thing to you."
"I know, sweetie. You are always there for me and dad."
"Yeah. It's always been how I say… an occurrence for me."
"But I'm always fine in general. Nothing always bothers me. I just wanted to be myself as an adult. You know, I'm just more of a relaxed type of person."
"Yeah. You're not wrong. I'm just hoping not one dicey event happens to you… actually, that's my reason why I'm siding with what you said earlier. You know, about me taking a break for once. I have to switch events, you know."
"I understand what you're saying. But you don't have to feel bored. You can walk around the house, watch a movie, all those sorts of things in order to make yourself motivated."
"Yeah… I guess you do have a point."
"Here are your drinks, ladies. This lemonade is for you. And this iced tea is for you." The lady said.
"Thank you." We both said.
"And I also like your hair. It's kinda cute." She said to me with a smile.
"Thank you very much." I said with a smile.
"You're welcome. Your food should be here in a minute."
"Alright. Thank you very much." My mom said as the lady walked away.
"Oh… so my daughter can accept praise now." My mom said with a grin.
"Y-Yeah. I'm trying to accept it nowadays." I said with a small smile with a little hint of blush.
"You know what. We're not gonna talk about it anymore since you are trying to handle your emotions when trying to accept praise from other people."
…
"You're right. I don't want to get upset over it. It has been a huge problem for a long time. I don't want to get through the same experience again."
"Yeah. True."
We both went silent. Again. I know I want to conversate with my mother longer, but there is nothing to talk about… really. We haven't really met up with each other for a long time. So it's gonna be harder to talk about newer stuff.
But trust me. It'll get even better when we interact more. Especially with the red stone that we have currently. So our relationship will still be maintained from there. I'm just hoping we don't find ourselves in a hole.
The fact that mom always gets things done for me makes me kind of jealous… a little. I have a feeling that she doesn't say no to everything. Just like how most parents say no for whenever their kids want something. I want to know how I feel so lucky for everything I ask for. Maybe I should ask my mom about that.
"Kaze… I believe multiple people have expressed their interest in you." My mom whispered to me.
And when I looked around, there were a bunch of people including boys, parents, even girls actually looking at me with smiles on their faces. I don't really know why they were staring at me, but then a few seconds, a thought finally clicked on my thought bubble.
I wonder if it's because of… wait... did that lady who got us our drinks say that my hair was… c-c-cute? Aw geez, Raffina would've been jealous.
So I then gave them a smile since I've caught their interest.
"Hey, I like your hair! It looks really nice!" I heard one boy say.
Ok, I think I should change my hair back. I'm gonna be surrounded by mostly boys if they are willing to excessively think about me most of the time. Or should I change it.
"Thank you!" I said to the boy who said something about my hair.
"Hey, are you trying to become a more beautiful girl? I'm sorry for bringing that up." One blonde girl asked me.
"Well… not really. It's just… I wanted to keep my hair like this. Do you… like it?" I asked while rubbing my hair.
"Yeah!" Almost everyone in the restaurant shouted.
"They are making me blush now." I whispered to my mom.
"Hey, you liked purple." My mom said.
Oh, goodness. Ever since I came back, and now things are turning the tide in terms of my reputation being as low as it can be before moving to Primp Town to get my magic from Ms. Accord. I don't know what to say.
Everyone then went back to eating after what was a sudden 20 second experience. I found that… very shocking to be honest because everyone has taken a liking of me due to my appearance. I mean… I find it very nice that they like how I look, but I don't want to make myself cute though. I just want to be myself and wear just… purple. That's all.
"Ok… that was so sudden." I said with a sweatdrop.
"At least you've caught most people's attention." Mom said.
"But… I just don't want to become cute. I'm just happy with the way I look. There's nothing else personal. But the good news is that they don't know I have dark magic. So that's something I might as well keep hidden."
"Speaking of magic, I think you haven't shown your mother your own magic."
"Uhh… ok. But I don't want anybody to know about this." I said.
We looked at everyone in the restaurant to see if they were watching this and it seemed to us that nobody was. I then released the palms of my hands and placed them on the table. And then for only seven seconds, I felt an aura that was coming from my hands and it grew stronger and stronger…
…
Until there was a purple aura that appeared to be visible from my hands.
This was the feeling of magic that was already inside my whole body after playing Puyo Puyo.
"My goodness… this is real." Mom whispered, looking real shocked at what she's now seeing from my hands.
"Tell me about it. This is actually my first time looking at this."
"I hope you are gonna control it, though. You do know what happens when you release your magic to everyone."
"I know. I'm controlling it very well. Like I said, it's hidden. So not one person is gonna notice my secret. Would you try to show your magic to anyone if you were to be just like me?"
"N-No! I would never. I would want to show it when I need to. Not when I want to. *sigh* Imagine if Thanos had magic. The stone in this world would've been his in an instant. All due to his invincibility."
"Don't worry. The area is big here, so it's highly doubtful that he'll find it in an instant."
"True. But what if he pulls a huge miracle? Because I'm thinking that he might see everything. He might be on the lookout for you."
"No he's not. There's no way he would find me. Or that red stone. Trust me. I know what I'm saying."
"Well… I'll let that slide. I don't think he's here for you anyways."
"Alright, here's your spaghetti and meatballs, and a chicken salad. Please, enjoy." A different lady said to us as she gave us our food.
"Thank you." Both of us said. We both grabbed our silverware and began eating our food. And our eyes lit up when we took our first bite of our food.
…
…
...
"I've gotta be in heaven." My mom said while looking at her food.
"Same here. This is so good." I said while looking at mine.
"We need to keep eating. There's no stopping us from ruining our meal."
"Right."
After we finished our food and mom paid for it, we left the restaurant after having such a wonderful meal. It was so good, we didn't want to leave this restaurant without eating every single bit of food that was on our plates.
My spaghetti and meatballs were way better than the ones back home. I think I need to start eating those spaghetti and meatballs more. I'm starting to like them now.
"That was so good, right?" My mom asked.
"Yeah. I'm starting to have an addiction now because of this. I think that might prepare me for tomorrow." I said.
"You really want to go to that library, huh?" My mom asked with a sweatdrop.
"Well, I can't be bored. You will still have me afterwards. I just… need to move around."
…
…
…
"*sigh* Alright, my daughter. If you really want to be this active, then I guess I can let you go to the library tomorrow." My mom said, not knowing what to say.
"I mean, if you really want me to stay, then I'll stay. It's not like I'm gonna force you to drop me off or anything. I just… I don't want to be lazy as a whole."
"No no, it's fine. I can drop you off. I just need to check when the library is open. Anyway, let's head home. We should be getting some sleep."
"Ok."
We both got inside the car to head home. I'm already crossing my fingers hoping tomorrow will be a better day. I have the red stone with me. I'm already back home with a great experience. But I'm just hoping nothing bad happens to this world. Because the next few days MIGHT get a little fuzzy. That's my prediction. I might as well have to see.
Author's Note: ¼ of 100 chapters complete! If I get to 100 chapters. But, that ain't relevant right now. The main question is how does this unknown person know Kaze and Jordyn. And what does Jordyn have to do with the current situation that she and Kaze are in? What are they both about to witness next? You'll just have to keep reading this story to find out.
So I'm sorry if it took so long to update. I just wanted to point out that after this and two more chapters, the next one will debut new characters. I just wanted to say that this first one was VERY hard! My mind was fried. I couldn't figure out what I wanted to write so I had to go with this one. BUT! The next two will definitely be better this time. And I'm not gonna catch myself off-guard. I usually get distracted on other things, such as watching tv, YouTube, all those sorts of things. But I will try to focus on the next chapter. No more being distracted. If I need to take a break, I can do that, but only for a little bit. I gotta stay on task so that I can keep you guys updated on new stories. Perhaps it must be goddamn school that I'm focusing on. But I'm not gonna talk about it.
So that's all I got to say. Make sure you guys wash your hands at all times, stay safe at all times, and I'll see you guys in the next chapter.
